Etymology

1. 1611, perhaps Scand., probably echoic, original sense was "hitting" then of "swelling from being hit." Also has a long association with obs. bum "to make a booming noise," which influenced surviving senses like bumper crop, for something full to the brim. Bumpers first recorded 1839, on railroad cars; 1926 on automobiles. To bump into "meet" is from 1880s; to bump off "kill" is 1908 in underworld slang.
2. From Early Modern English bump (“a shock, blow from a collision”), probably of North Germanic origin; compare Danish bump (“a thump”), Danish bumpe (“to thump”), Old Danish bumpe (“to strike with a clenched fist”), all probably of imitative origin.
3. Apparently related to Middle English bumben, bummen (“to make a hollow noise”), Dutch bommen (“to hum, buzz”), German Low German bumsen (“to bump, push”), German bummen (“to hum, buzz”), Icelandic bumba (“drum”). More at bum, bumble. Compare also bomb. See: Danish 'bumpe', Dutch 'bommen', German, old spelling 'bummen', Icelandic 'bumba'.

The steamer (not unlike a child 's Noah 's ark in form, with the machinery on the top of the roof ) is riding lazily up and down, and bumping clumsily against the wooden pier, as the ripple of the river trifles with its unwieldy carcase. The wharf is some distance from the city. There is nobody down here; and one or two dull lamps upon [...] (American Notes for General Circulation)
  • [...] merriment in the water, until the arrival of the railway train, for whose final contribution to our stock of passengers, our departure was alone deferred. It brought a great many boxes, which were bumped and tossed upon the roof, almost as painfully as if they had been deposited on one 's own head, without the intervention of a porter 's knot; and several damp gentlemen, whose clothes, on their [...] (American Notes for General Circulation)
